XXVIII. The Duke's Credulity

"I propose to divide the troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Leon said calmly.

"What?!!" Everyone was stunned. For a moment, I couldn't understand the meaning of the words.

Almac had been suffering from a lack of troops, and had to rely on mercenaries for this reason, but at this moment, the knight said that he was dividing his troops, wouldn't this show that the enemy was weak, but weakened his own strength even more?

Because it was Leon Ann Hart, no one doubted that he had been bought by the enemy, but it was inevitable that this guy would be delirious due to the pressure.

Noy was the first to jump out, as is customary: "Leon Ann Hart, I admit that your strength is above mine, but what kind of bad idea is this?"

"Be quiet, Noi. Eck slapped the back of his hand on Noi's face, pressing him straight back, a move that of course made the Red Knight furious, but in the end, he was still attracted by the conversation between the two.

"Tell me your reason, you're not the kind of person who will talk gibberish regardless of the occasion. ”

The knight nodded slightly: "I have listened to the plans of several people, and one thing worth noting is that no matter how many troops there are, if we only talk about the strength of the generals, we actually have a decisive advantage. ”

"We have been trying to make up for the lack of troops, and after the addition of Mr. Balzac's 800 mercenaries, the gap in strength has in fact been bridged, and the next thing to do is to completely turn this battle into our field of expertise. ”

"I see, do you want to divide the battlefield, form a situation of equal strength in the local area, and invest superior forces with generals as the core, and eat away at the enemy little by little?"

"No, that's too arrogant, the enemy is not stupid, and when they find out about it and concentrate their forces desperately, we fail. Leon rejects Ek's answer and continues:

"In the first half of the strategy of dividing the troops conceived below, I refer to your strategy of Lord Ek, and put most of the troops into the strategy of the Gaske region, especially the South Port, disguised as if you want to quickly occupy the local area, so as to lure the enemy's reinforcements, and then use a small number of elites to capture the enemy's base camp in one go. ”

"Divide the troops, it's a decoy, right?" pointed out the Green Knight sharply.

"It is not denied that such remarks are quite dangerous and almost life-saving battles for the army of the luring enemy. Leon said frankly.

"Understood, it's up to my Charizard mercenary group to carry out this operation, anyway, it's not about separating life and death with the enemy, just drag the enemy's large army, right? Balzac, who knew his position very well, said calmly, as if he did not care at all about the dangers of being used as bait.

"I'm sorry for the difficult task you have to take, but not only the mercenaries, but also the Red Lotus and the Green Wind must strike together, so that they can be a weighty bait. ”

"It doesn't matter, Lord Knight, we were mercenaries in the first place, and as long as we have money, we can work for you. "This bald man looks quite free.

"Hmph, you can't lose to a mercenary who has nothing to do with it! Noi said unhappily, he had clearly accepted the task.

The duke, who had been listening quietly to the knight's speech until now, couldn't help but speak.

"I think there's something wrong with this plan, I don't understand the strategic aspect, but I always feel like Leon is underestimating people. He said, "The Knights of the Guards are the strongest, and if you weren't there, would that damn Gilheim really be fooled? He's a bastard, but I don't think he's stupid." ”

The "......" Leon stagnation, which is indeed the biggest weakness of the plan.

If the enemy is not fooled, everything is meaningless, and it will be yourself who will be exterminated in the end.

"I have a good idea!!" Lord Duke clapped his palms: "Let the Red Lotus Green Wind Guards and the miscellaneous legions all pack up and use them as bait!"

"Isn't it overdone?!" the red knight cried out in surprise, "Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

"Aren't there still Balzac's mercenaries?" the duke pointed to the bald man beside him, "Of course, it is up to them to attack the enemy's base camp." ”

"Huh?!Wouldn't that turn into letting mercenaries lead the war?!"

"What's wrong with this? Xiaohong, are you discriminating? Balzac is also my subordinate now, didn't he say it? His mercenaries are all veterans, and I think that kind of army is at least more reliable than those weak chickens in my country who have never experienced war, and Leon also said that he has no actual command experience, so I think it would be better to let the veteran Balzac take command. ”

"Admittedly...... But ......" Leon tried to object, and everyone was obviously aware of the reasons for his opposition, and even Balzac, who was the person concerned, felt that it was inappropriate, but the Duke seemed to have decided on his own ideas.

"There's nothing to hesitate about!" he stood in front of the mercenary and shouted loudly to several knights: "Balzac told me that he would win for me!

That's just casual talk! Do you take what others say seriously?!

Several knights thought directly of the scene at the engagement ceremony.

It was the same at that time, the duke was convinced of the knight's words of allegiance, and the sentence "I will definitely protect you" made the duke completely ignore the army that surrounded him.

Because he agreed with the knight, he thought that he would be protected, so the duke could be fearless.

How gullible is this little ghost?!

Although the knights wanted to utter such a cry, they were reluctant to spit out the words when they reached their mouths.

People in the world say that trust is a virtue, so is it wrong to trust subordinates? Is it a bad thing to gain trust?

The world says that being suspicious is an evil deed, so as a lord, must you be suspicious of every word of your subordinates? As a knight, should you in turn encourage your lord to learn to be suspicious?

Isn't there a single lord in this world who can trust his subordinates?

Can't you become a knight worthy of the lord's trust?

The more they thought about it, the more the knights found themselves unable to answer the question, they fell into deep thought and chose silence.

"Do you believe me, do you believe what a mercenary who didn't know him before said casually?" the tall man said with a strange expression as he looked at Fan, who was just up to his waist.

"Why don't you believe you, Balzac, will you betray me?" Van turned his head and looked at the mercenary with a puzzled look.

A simple sentence caused turmoil in Balzac's heart.

Because he knows very well that it is naivety, ignorance, irrational credulity, stupid naivety!

But on the other hand, it is this irrational credulity and stupid naivety that is the sincere words that come from the heart without a trace of lies and without any cover-up.

[Balzac, you despicable traitor!!]

[Traitor Balzac, you will receive a fair trial!]

[You killed my husband, he admires you so much!]

[Traitor, traitor, traitor!!]

"No!"

Balzac clenched his fists tightly.

He let out a cry.

"I, Balzac von Randall, have never betrayed anyone in my life, never!!"

He shouted out words that he didn't even say when he faced the supreme who was on high.

By then, his heart was already dead, his pale language had long since lost its validity, and he disdained to justify anything to the Supreme who had abandoned him.

But at the moment, there was heat in it again.

The mercenary Balzac went back to the past in a trance, to the era when he was trusted and loved by everyone, and to the era when he was called a general by the world.

"In that case, isn't there no problem at all?" Fan's words woke him up, and in a trance, the mercenary returned to reality, but he always felt that something was quietly changing and sprouting in his body.

"Leon, you are better at fighting than me, but here I am the greatest, so I have the final say, and no one is allowed to resist me!"

Then, once again, he turned to the mercenary behind him.

"Balzac, I want to defeat Bol's guys and bring Elle back, can you help me win this war?"

At this moment, this uncle-level man found that his eyes were a little abnormal, in addition to looking at and staring at people, a certain function that had been lost a few lifetimes ago, and a certain function that had not even had an effect during the period when he was slandered and wanted, was gradually revived at this time......

Because talking too much will bring a nasal voice, so he said briefly:

"Leave it to me. ”

After the adjournment of the meeting.

"Your Excellency. Leon caught up with Fan, who was about to leave: "I still stick to my own judgment and entrust the victory or defeat of this battle to a mercenary, it's too imprudent!"

"Why should I wonder that as a knight, it is not a virtue to trust others, and Balzac has not betrayed me, so why can't I trust him?"

"It's not a matter of trust, it's fundamentally wrong to entrust such an important matter to a mercenary of unknown origin!!"

"You're really wordy, I don't want to listen to you, compared to this, how is your Knights of the Guards, you're almost ready to go on the expedition. ”

"The matter of the Knights has been handed over to Scott, but he can't safely entrust the battle situation to a mercenary in any case, so he decided to follow the mercenary to the battlefield in the Boer area. ”

"Do you want to go together? Okay, I'll be safe when the time comes, I'm still worried about whether I'll encounter danger when I go to the battlefield, it's great that you can come, I always feel at ease all of a sudden, it's Leon, we actually have a heart-to-heart connection, right?"

"Wait!" Leon was stunned for a moment, and then stared at the young man in front of him in surprise: "Lord Duke, are you also going to the battlefield?!"

"That's inevitable, I promised Elle to pick her up, how could I not be there then?" said Fan as a matter of course.

"It's too dangerous! it's absolutely not going to work!" Leon objected fiercely.

"That's why you followed, didn't you? Because of you, I dare to go into battle, and you will protect me, right, Leon. ”

"I will risk my life to protect your safety, but I will not approve of your decision to put myself in danger for unnecessary reasons. ”

"I don't care about the danger or anything, I must go anyway!" Fan said willfully: "I can't do without me, even Leon you can't stop me, I must let Ellie be the first to see me!"

"But, Lord Duke!"

"Don't say any more, my decision will not change, if you don't let me go, I will sneak away, so this is the end of the discussion, instead of thinking about this, think about how to ensure my safety, I heard that the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, it looks like you will have a hard time, my knight. ”

Van grinned and patted Leon.

Then he stretched and said lazily, "Oops...... In the last few days, the work has become a mess without Elle's help, but fortunately, the workload has suddenly decreased for some reason recently, so I can get through it, which is really troublesome. ”

"So I'll go to work for a while, and you can arrange your going to war. ”

"Bye-bye, Leon. ”

He waved his hand at the knight, and then walked away.

The sluggish knight was left in place.

Moments later......

Leon caught up with Balzac, who was leaving the castle.

"What's the matter, Knight?" the mercenary asked.

"Mercenary ......"

The knight looked at the mercenary in silence, as if trying to see him through.

"Since the Duke has chosen to trust you, I have nothing to say as a knight, but there is only one thing for you to remember.

The knight said solemnly.

"I will not allow you to desecrate the trust of the Duke or to live up to the expectations of the Duke. ”

This is important for you to keep in mind. ”

"Hmph, a loyal knight, well, I have received your threat, and I will take it to heart. ”

"Also, please keep in mind what I said. ”

At that moment, the man who was originally just a mercenary with an empty body changed, and from his body emanated a majestic momentum like a mountain.

"I, Balzac von Randall, will never betray!" said the bald man, word by word, solemnly.

"I hope you walk the talk. Leon's face was as calm as water.

"It must be so, you don't need to say more!" replied Balzac,-for-tat.

Leon was silent, and then he stretched out his hand bluntly: "Leon Ann Hart, please advise me on this battle." ”

"......" Balzac looked a little stunned as he looked at the outstretched hand, and then, with a heroic smile on his face, stretched out his hand as well.

"Balzac von Randall. Needless to say, I will teach you the essence of war in this battle!"

Alicia has 9 chapters left to return, and is it finally in the single digits......
